Have you tried removing the PartyBets spam-bar? I've not played much poker since I worked out how to get rid of it, but in the few sessions I played Party has run waaaaaaay better without it (see

If only Party could just spend one month fixing all their bugs and annoyances... but alas, they choose to add chat-indicator smiley faces instead...
